Colour: Grey How superimpose sounds for the depth and harmony - Gray continues to enjoy his moment as the elegant, go in the shade day but a new trend is emerging in the use of this versatile color. Rather than sticking to a shade and risking an outcome rather flat, gray combining different tones is a nice alternative. The trick is to zero the gray you like best, then look left and right of it on the table paint, sourcing something similar, but slightly different. beige-gray soft, for example, is a few jumps the graph from the stormiest tones.
Then, have fun layering these nuances, using paintings, but also the rich texture of materials, upholstery and artwork. Sometimes touches of color contrast will drag, too, to punctuate the regime. All contribute to build a look that has masses more depth and subtlety as using a single gray everywhere. These rooms show how it can be done.

clear contrast and dark
Using the same color but in its two paler deepest incarnations, you can create a rich and contrasting look that is always harmonious and coordinated. Here, gray is used throughout, but the Sport trim, a deep, rich version, while the walls and upholstery are much paler.

Choose a strong theme, dark
Your tone does not have to run the length of the dark to pale color chart. The gray in this room are all firmly on the dark side, but their subtle differences, coupled with lots of inviting textures add depth. Instead of adding light gray cushions, these owners have cleverly chosen those charcoal and white, brightens while respecting the dark gray theme.

layer super pale shades
on the lighter end of the palette, the colors become less distinct, so that very light gray that looks almost the same pale blue duck egg. This opens a lot of layering options. The pale gray furniture and furnishings in this room work beautifully with wallpaper, which adds warmth to the plan while still looking smooth.

Choose versatile, muted tones
Take a shade of dove gray that could almost be your starter beige and use it on the ceiling and walls. Add seats in the mid gray and dark gray carpet to the system ground. To give a little more energy space, just add some bright accents such as pale blue and pink salmon in this cocooning lounge room.

work in some texture
a polished concrete floor in this great, Barn- house style creates a silky gray background for a space that incorporates a wall treated with lime paint in a stormy shade. This natural paint produces a slightly uneven finish that brings personality to the room.

Let a shadow steal the show
a simple approach of gray stratification is to choose a color that will do most of the work, and add small accents in similar tones. Here, dove gray covers the walls and cabinets, but is interrupted by granite countertops, dark beach and deep gray shade, creating a coherent system that contains a little contrast, too.
